The National Anti-Terrorism Committee announced the rollout of the CTO regime in the Voronezh region. The statement was reported by TASS as part of ongoing security measures across the country.
Officials described the introduction of an anti-terror operation regime designed to prevent potential terrorist acts in Moscow, the Moscow region, and Voronezh. This marks the first time the CTO regime has been implemented in these areas, extending a framework that grants law enforcement enhanced powers, including wiretapping, document checks, and vehicle towing as part of preventive security measures.
Earlier deployments of the CTO regime occurred in Moscow and the surrounding Moscow region, establishing a precedent for intensified actions to safeguard urban and regional infrastructure from threats.
In late June, a public statement emerged from the Ministry of Defense addressing rumors circulated on social networks about alleged assaults on Wagner private military company rear camps. The communications emphasized that those reports did not reflect reality and were described as informational provocations, reflecting the tense information environment surrounding military operations and security services.
Meanwhile, the presidential press secretary publicly clarified that the situation around Prigozhin was being monitored at the highest level. The remarks underscored the leadership’s attention to the rapidly evolving security dynamics and the need for orderly communication to prevent misinformation from destabilizing public trust.
Following Prigozhin’s statements, the National Counter-Terrorism Committee announced a legal action concerning incitement to military rebellion, signaling a firm stance against attempts to amplify discord or undermine official command structures. The development highlights the ongoing emphasis on coordinated counter-terrorism efforts and the legal mechanisms used to hold actors accountable for inflammatory actions that could threaten national security.
